- Happy 20th anniversary to EoSD, the game that basically started it all.
In order to celebrate, here's a 12 year old replay for a 20 year old game.
Old run from 2010 beating the Extra stage without dying and bombing.
Not sure why I never uploaded it before, I never really uploaded many of my old Extra perfects from back in those days.
Still probably one of the harder Extra stages, you get very few resources comparatively and the patterns revolve a lot around random dodging. QED is also a really nasty final pattern.
Man I forgot how much MarisaA just melts bosses. Remember that being a thing?
Also trying a new upscale method.

Damn, I can't believe it's been 20 years already... Happy b-day to the game that spawned a phenomenon!🎉
Here it is
The Genesis
The one that brings Touhou beyond Japan, and become a legend on its own
Happy Birthday, Scarlet Devil.
Touhou has came a long way and im proud to be part of this.
Man I'm being assaulted by waves of nostalgia right now... there's just something about those older touhou games that I just can't find in anything of today
For me, a big part is the soundtracks... Not that modern ZUN music isn't awesome, but there's just this certain flavour to these old songs.
The soundfonts and the backgrounds, zun somehow managed to make the general atmosphere dreamlike, almost subliminal and I think its most prevalent in touhou 9 and that it's no longer there from touhou 13 onwards
@@The_Vible much agreed
@@The_Vible The dialogue feels like a fever dream too, I think around TH13 (what a coincidence), ZUN realized that this is his magnum opus and started to seriously develop Touhou and focus even more on the world and dialogue. Maybe that showed up in his music, but I felt like that was more of ZUN changing as a person. I really feel like the music style truly changed at 16, but 14 and 15 were gimmick soundtracks, and 13's soundtrack was just particularly dry except for the boss themes starting from Rigid Paradise. But at the same time I get what you mean by them no longer feeling dreamlike after 13, and the transition is made a little frustrating when it started with a lackluster soundtrack imo and 2 gimmicky soundtracks. I also think the dreamlike feeling was strongest in 7 imo, I mean, if I need to point to the dreamlike feeling, I can cite almost every song in the game (Mystic Oriental Temple would be my first), and Deep Mountain is barely a Touhou song from the sheer ratio. Plus the first 2 Windows games had that old Windows game sound to complement it.
Ironically, despite not having that dreamlike feeling the older songs I think 14's final boss theme actually only makes sense if you view it in a dreamlike sense. Trust me, I have enough feelings about that song to make a wall of text about it but tl;dr: I think the fandom was a little too fast to judge the song and just thought it was meant it was just meant to be a passionately frustrated warrior's theme but leaving many things about it to not add up like the mere existence of THE PART, when it makes more sense considering many many ZUNerisms and other things to view it as a song that reflects the past and voices of the inchlings, the shining needle castle, and the miracle mallet and is connected by who is in between: Shinmyoumaru Sukuna.
@@Jann75 Feels pretty bizarre to describe a soundtrack as “gimmicky.” They are undeniably different from other touhou soundtracks, but that doesn’t make them bad.
Personally, I feel like a big part of what lost that dreamlike quality was the shift in UI to be more manga-esque, with speech bubbles and the like. More “professional,” it sorta lost that unique quality to it. There’s also a much lower emphasis post-TD on the seasonal aesthetics that helped give a sense of the passage of time in that specific, dreamlike way- the way where you know time has passed, and you recognize the events that lead from then to now, but where looking at the chain of cause and effect makes it seem like some unexplainable thing is missing. It seems as though ZUN has been deemphasizing that since around SA though, what with the events of that era’s games all connecting together in story.
The first modern Windows era seemed like it was trying to feel more “concrete.” The current era is going for almost the opposite extreme, beyond a dreamlike causality and into something more episodic, where each mainline game is part of a new micro-era.
It took me many hours to first beat this stage when I was new at Touhou. Good times.
new at touhou? you mustve got good quickly lol
Happy 20th Anniversary, Scarlet Devils! 😈🎂🎊
To be perfectly clear, I am not a so-called "Genwunner" when it comes to the Touhou Project games, but I've always held the "Windows Touhou Classics" _(Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night)_ as my personal favorites.
Wow, you kept this replay file even after 12 years (unless you uploaded it somewhere else and got it back)
Let's just say replay upload sites are a treasure.
I feel like this extra stage might be top 5 in terms of how hard it is but it's not really bad either, the biggest problems are probably Patchouli 1st and 3rd midspells and QED, the rest is relatively simple
What about flandre's last attack? Doesn't feel "relatively easy"
@@kodirovsshik That's one of the few attacks that I included in the 3 that I consider problematic, that being QED, that's definitely Flandre's hardest spell
@@ing5998 i'm a dumbass i can't read sorry my bad
patchoulis 1st midspell is easy, 2nd is cancer if you dont have a strategy to beat it and 3rd well i would say its alright
@@jacobdelacruz558 The thing with Patchouli's 2nd spell is that it's static, AKA the bullets always go the same way instead of having RNG to them, so if you learn how to do it it's 100% consistent
Straight from the Jaimers vault, that s awesome the replay is so old ha.
EOSD, such a classic title! I keep coming back to it every now and then
Happy Eosday again! (Quite late haha)
Nice run Jaimers, even if it's old.
PD: love me some good 12 years old replay of Touhou in 2k 60 fps.
Late Happy 20th Anniversary. This certainly brings back some nostalgic feels and makes me wanna play it again like 10 years after I last touched this series. Who else feels that way too?
Also watching this makes me realise that the older series definitely feels more slow-paced compared to the ones released in recent years, including the fanmades.
Happy Flaniversary!
Happu EoSDay! :D
Looking at EoSD EX nowadays, it really is simple and telegraphed to a seasoned player.
The difficulty of the whole game lies on actually being able to do what is needed on the specific spells and likewise, the actual skill to make it look trivial. I lack the skill to clear EX so all I can do is look in wonder to people who can clear EX.
honestly if you practice enough you can do it, i suck at touhou but i have this ex cleared simply by spamming games over and over until i memorised everything
Awesome!
OMG HD EoSD gameplay!
It's all about the hitbox, baby.
This shit is more than insane lol
oh, twenty years have passed?
beyond BASED
Your description says you did a new upscale method; do you mind sharing it?
I've just been taking the games windowed and recording them at 1440p for better bitrate, but I imagine you're doing more than that.
bro same
I just can't get this ExNN! It's all so easy except for QED and I keep dying to it
Yeah I think I used MarisaA specifically for QED since she can end it the fastest lol.
3:26 if you're here for the funny theme song. Happy 20th!
ran ran ruu
I've tried for days and I can't find a way to start Touhou 6, there isn't anything helpful anywhere. I just want to get into Touhou and Touhou 6 is the first windows game so I wanted to play that first but I just can't play it
Would you ever consider going for the Ultra version of this from a while back? The one with the Gengetsu pattern.
@Donhimesama Daifutari I’m referring to this: th-cam.com/video/Np3yl3GIb_4/w-d-xo.html
And just normal clear not nmnb or something nuts like that
Also maybe without cheesing the survival spell but idk if that’s possible or not because I’ve never seen anyone try anything else, so no clue how it’d be done
@Donhimesama Daifutari Maybe? I only said Gengetsu because I knew that specific pattern came from her - not just the speed, the exact way it was made.
I like this artstyle more than the current one, tbh.
I like Touhou 7,8, and 9 Art style a lot, the current one lacks what the others did have, somehow.
I think this artstyle is just bad, Zun gives a nice texture to it but his usage of colour in old art is wacky as hell. Tell me what colour Mystia's hair is really supposed to be, or what shade of blue Remilia hair is supposed to be, this also applies to koishi and satori, people couldn't even tell if Remilia's dress was supposed to be either pink or white. I think Zun's art peaked on touhou 14
@@The_Vible I think that too. I absolutely adore Touhou 14's art.
It's his best art since imo Touhou 9.
Wich mode i must beat or when i get the good ending
Try Normal mode with no continue.
You can play any difficulty except easy.
what program do you use to record?
OBS or Dxtory depending on the situation.
@@JaimersSTG I see, OBS don't detect my other touhou games like ISC or AoCM, only IN and I think maybe too EoSD and PCB
tricky dance 9:38
Jaimers can you play more R-Type?
I thought ReimuB was the strongest in this game, guess not lol
you think you're good at touhou or something huh, kid? I'll have you know my dad is ZUN
Link your favourite U.N Owen remixes
one of mine would be th-cam.com/video/jh1jhEQ1w9U/w-d-xo.html simple, but nice
did Demetori play her theme?
The Touhou Luna Nights arrangement was pretty dope:
